Happy to spend: consumer confidence soars
Published 4 years, 10 months ago
Description
A big jump in consumer confidence to levels not seen since the resources boom have been described this week as “an extraordinary result.“ Westpac Chief Economist Bill Evans explains the latest data. Farmers also have a spring in their step as they go shopping in record numbers for tractors, helicopters and …coffee machines. Plus, the most unpopular tax, that we don’t have, might be a really good idea.
